It has been a BEAUTIFUL day here - just what we've needed! Walked 3 miles with the pooch & my sweet husband this morning. Then, I was able to get out in the yard & play w/ the pruning shears (know me well, & you know it's one of my favorite things!). Our daughter's fever is finally gone, & she's able to play outside. I hear her singing a little tune, as she twirls her daddy's golf umbrella in the fading sun. Our boys are shooting hoops in the driveway. I hear balls bouncing & the clatter of boys' yelling mingled with laughter. The occasional bark from Otis reminds passers-by that this home is under constant guard.

All of it is the lyrical, funny, cacophonous, quirky music of home. And it is beautiful.

DD2 - You too! Thanks for stopping by!Z - you're very generous w/ your kind words about my 'youth' (which I esp. appreciate, since my oldest -12y/o- is now taller than me!) My husband & I really liked that video; & you should come see NC. It's a lovely place to be! :)Fras - Cleaning bathrooms??...Oh, I forgot, you just got home from a CRUISE!! I guess work was waiting. :) Otis & I power-walked 3 miles yesterday & he hopped/ran on 3 legs half the way. I checked his hind foot 4-5 times,but couldn't find anything wrong! He wasn't in pain, just hopped along like a little (fast) bunny! What a crazy dog!! (Our 1st Jack used to do the same thing in the snow, but Otis had no excuse but goofy-ness!)~Take care all!
